Star Wars Universe (Rebels, Clone Wars, Comics, Books, Video Games) • Page 23

Oh damn, I was with you till you said Rebels

 

Haha. I love Rebels!

 

I'm on season one still

Spoilers for Clone Wars and Ahsoka I'd be good

 

Ah yeah. I would hold off on this then haha.

 

Finally caught up with the Poe Dameron comic and it had an interesting development that could be hinting at where the movies are going with his character. I won't spoil it but they seem to be sowing the in story seeds for dealing with Leia's...unknown future in the latest issue (14), as well as serving as a nice little nod to Carrie Fisher's passing and her legacy through the eulogy of another character. Even though the series hasn't been my favorite, it's worth checking out this one issue I think.

 

looks like Clone Wars will actually be leaving Netflix in June, just got a notification as I was watching :(

 

I'm really into the Screaming Citadel. Aphra and Luke make a great team.

 

When does the new Vader comic come out?

 

June 7th!

 

I'm so amped for those!

 

Same. The first series was great. Have a podcast episode on volume one going up this week!

 

Finally got around to finishing the Dr Aphra series. Loved it so much. She's basically a twisted Indiana Jones in the Star Wars universe. Can't wait to start The Screaming Citadel.

 

Just picked up the first graphic novel. Diving in this week and couldn't be more excited!

 

Well that sounds like perfect timing haha. I'll post the episode in here tomorrow once it's up if you'd like to check it out when you finish reading.

 

Finally finished the aftermath trilogy. The overall arc was fine but the writing was bad and it seemed to drag on forever.

If I was ranking books I read...

Bloodline
Ahsoka
Catalyst
Tarkin
A New Dawn
Aftermath trilogy

I really enjoyed them all except aftermath. Thrawn is up next.

 

Here's that Darth Vader podcast I mentioned: Darth Vader Vol. 1

Always a fun time to talk Star Wars. If there's any book/comic/etc. that you all would like to see covered on the podcast, I'm definitely open to suggestions.

 

I have no idea what people see in Catalyst. I couldn't even finish it. Easily the worst of the new canon to me.

 

Rebel Rising is solid, I recommend it if you're looking for more character development from Jyn and Saw.

I'm also binging S3 of Rebels and really enjoying it.

 

Made Windu is getting his own comic series, for those of you who somehow think he's a good character.

 

Heh, I mean, he was a decent character in Clone Wars.

 

this was supposed to be a thing a few months back. I panicked and bought all the season on blu-ray, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Who knows though.

It's interesting for sure. Hopefully there's some good stuff that comes out of it. I think after this arc there should be only one more of the big 3 before we get into Empire. I'd be cool with Aphra being around for a while too.

Yea, Aphra has really been the best new thing to come out of the comics. They're giving her a action figure soon too. Would really love to see her in another medium.

I really loved Life Debt and Empire's End. I know it would be hard for most people to actually do it, but i recommend going back and reading the first aftermath. You enjoy it a lot more the second time around without the expectations going in and knowing who the characters are now.


for me it's

Bloodline
Aftermath trilogy
Thrawn
Catalyst
Dark Disciple
A New Dawn
Ahsoka
Lost Stars
Lords of the Sith
Battlefront: Twilight Company
Tarkin
Heir to the Jedi

anbout to start on rebel rising

really? i thought it was great.

He's a hardly developed character, like a lot of other Star Wars characters before they get more in depth stories. I'm very excited. I'm hoping they do more of these with different jedi too.

Also, I just finished Thrawn and he's quickly risen as one of my favorite characters. He's awesome on Rebels, but he's basically like a Sherlock Holmes in this book. The supporting characters in the book are really really good as well. And could be pretty important going forward. Without giving too much, I came into this book thinking that i'd just get some backstory about Thrawn before he meets his end in season 4 of Rebels, but i now feel very convinced he won't die in Rebels, and that his overall story has a lot more to it. I'm very excited for season 4 and to see what happens.

 

The last few episodes of Rebels S3 were so, so good.

 

it looks like Netflix is getting ahead of all of those "What's Leaving This Month" blogs and actually putting those types of notifications on the shows within the app now. Clone Wars is gone June 7 :/

 

do you have that from some authority or are you just saying that? they had that like maybe 2 months ago on the Clone Wars saying it was leaving in april, and it never did. They have those on other shows too.
